No problem, I sympathize.

For the box convergence, density is a bad criterion. Energy variation is better (bigger box, same energy) but the best is converged bond length, or at least force components on atoms (relax the positions for different box sizes until the bond lengths are the same for successive boxes).

So what works? Bigger box or restarting the calculation?

Cheers
